Guidance: Managing Flagging Operations on Low-Volume Roads

Abstract:

Guidance: Managing Flagging Operations on Low-Volume Roads was created to supplement the 2009 Edition of the national Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) by providing commentary to assist decision makers in planning flagging operations on these roads. The document addresses evaluating site conditions, providing good visibility and stopping sight distance, choosing the correct type of flagging or alternate control, adjusting temporary traffic control (TTC) installation and operation, ensuring safe flagger behavior, and contingency planning.
